no, front is when you spin off the rail forwards(after 90degrees you're facing FRONTwards down the hill) and blind(aka backside) is when you spin off backwards(after 90degrees you're facing backwards down the hill)

for k feds scissor with the toe of your leading foot and this will help you lean forward, which will hopefully stop you from landing backseat

^ I might be misunderstanding you here, but on a k-fed you should lift your front ski toes up to fs switch up. Once you set that spin just stick with the spin all the way through and it should carry you around to blind 270 after.

ok for the 450 out , you need to land on the rail whit your shoulders facing down the rail. braking your upper body form your lower body. has your are coming to the end of the rail , you can bring the toes of your front foot up , giving you some grip and some thing to push off helping you for the spin out .keep your back hand near your back hip , giving you a bigger spin for the spin out a solid pop will help you a lot for this too . once your off the rail , its basicly like a 360 , look over your shoulder and spot the landing .
helps?

i'm not very good at front 4's out but i can do k-feds alright and all i have to say is that for a k-fed what you want to make sure you're doing is bending your knees when you land back on the rail after the switchup so that you can spring back up to get the bs 270 around at the end. what might be getting you to land backseat could be that you are too straight-legged when you're pushing off at the very end to complete your spin, thus thrown off balance. hope that makes sense, and hope it helps.

ya my bad, i think i said it wrong. so you would land on the rail, scissor with the heel of your back foot to make the fs switch up, and most people say to carry the momentum around for the bs 270 off, but when i learned them i had trouble doing that, so it helps (after doing the fs switch up) to scissor with the toe of the front foot to spin the bs 2sev out

sorry for triple post too, but the point of the scissoring before the 270 is to help you lean forward and not land backseat (otherwise my other posts would be random and not answering ur question haha)

also , try to do the sw up and 270 out in one movement. dont forget to bring your shoulders around at the sw-up too . your shoulders and arms are doing the trick first and the rest of your body follows...
